“Worst experience ever!!! My flight got delayed due to bad weather and I emailed the activity director to reschedule my cruise and never got a response. I noticed that my tickets were cancelled and never offered to reschedule. I sent another email asked for a refund, reschedule or credit for another time and was denied all avenues. This company kept my $688.00 and no way to get a credit or nothing. They refused to work with me period. I will not be booking anymore trips with this company. The are bad news!”

“I had an absolutely amazing experience! At first, things started off a bit chaotic! I accidentally purchased my tickets for the wrong date. I panicked, but thankfully I was able to reach out to the vendor and was connected with a wonderful woman named Samantha. She was truly invested in helping me make my birthday wish come true, and she did just that. The boat ride and dinner were nothing short of a dream.

My husband and I had the joy of standing on the back deck, soaking in the breathtaking views of the city while watching the fireworks…”
